Photo Walk

Tulip Time is offering photography enthusiasts a unique opportunity to see one of Holland’s top tourist attractions through the eyes of photographers. Local photographers, June and Doug Kuiper, will guide photo walk participants on Windmill Island, which plays host to the famous De Zwaan Windmill, carefully crafted Dutch scenes and 40 beds of tulips. Learn from our guides how to capture the landscape and architecture of Windmill Island Gardens during this two-hour class.  

Doug and June Kuiper are Holland-based photography enthusiasts who share their passion for capturing our natural world. They have been members of the Tulip City Camera Club for 9 years. They have also won/placed in several local photography competitions including the Ottawa County Fair, the Ottawa County Parks Mug Club, and the Van Raalte Farm Civil War Muster. June has been featured in Discover Holland publications and contributed to the Holland American Legion Band’s 100th Anniversary book. She also placed Honorable Mention in the 2023 Michigan Audubon Photography Awards, and both June and Doug have been published in the Jack Pine Warbler magazine. Their work can be viewed on Instagram @dougkuiper and @kuipercreative.
